Interesting first person investigative reporting on the attempts by republicans in Wisconsin to make voting difficult for youth and the poor, with a slimy attempt to collect a $28 "poll tax" going to the bank.

The link to charging that DMV offices in democratic areas are being closed is interesting, but not well verified.

I agree that the process is hardly streamlined. However to imply that that a $28 “poll tax” is involved is highly inaccurate. There is also no substantiation for the assertion that this is an “attempt by republicans(sp) in Wisconsin to make voting difficult for youth and the poor”—anyone who can provide proof of eligibility can get a voter ID card. The Wisconsin law is intended to prevent voter fraud, pure and simple.
